Now that the full version of S11 is beginning to ship, will we
finally see the long=promised code drop of new kernel code or has
Oracle decided to permanently close off public access to post-Sun
kernel developments?

Frankly, I don't see why none of the forks/sporks/distros floating
around are looking at the modernized, more-featureful versions of the
System V tools available from the Heirloom Tools project. IIRC, most
of them are even CDDL-licensed (as OpenSolaris code was a starting
point for most of them)
I just hope that OpenIndiana will intergrate the Heirloom tools rather
than completely GNU-ifying the userland like Nexenta.

So, OpenSolaris is officially dead... They're no longer providing even
read-only access to the live source code (only rare dumps of release
products), no longer have any interest in community contribution and
also reserve the right to maintain complete radio silence, as it were,
on any new
Rather than all the negativity that's been going around, let's focus
on the positive things:
1. We still have the code, including code that's MUCH more recent than
the last public binary build.
2. There are companies like Nexenta that might be able to help
maintain OpenSolaris, even if Oracle
Frankly, I don't see why people are so upset about what's going on
here. Why is the lack of an official binary release from Oracle such a
big deal? The code is still available and seeing updates, although
nobody seems to have been doing public build of those updates since
134... Why can't the
I was shocked to find that the drivers for all sorts of storage and
network adapters (including for pretty standard stuff like the Adaptec
Ultra320 SCSI cards and Broadcom wired network cards) that have been
supported by open drivers in Linux and *BSD since more or less the
beginning of time ;)

Sun under Oracle is not the Sun we know. It doesn't exist
Given that Oracle's acquisition of Sun is now all, for all practical
purposes, a done deal, does anybody know what's going to happen to
OpenSolaris? Oracle is not exactly known as being friendly to open
source software and given that the SPARC+Solaris+Oracle stack is
likely to be at the core of
